Out on rabbit patrol again last night. Very still and not as many about as expected, some were very spooky so suspect somebody else has been around.
Found a ferret at the side of the road which had just been knocked over .Got talking to a local who pulled over and said he sees them all the time.

Farm I visit run by 2 brothers now in the 70s.Yep...sure we discussed it already
Few years ago one of their milkers had one brother on the floor in the shipon and only because the other bro was passing did he get saved.
They chopped the milking herd down to none after that but they weren’t the fittest farmers back then.
KB.
I had a close call with a group of unruly bullocks and that was enough for me. Rather go around then end up having to do a 100m dash with a heavy rifle ...or worse. Happy enough during the day but no chance at night...
Not for me Smelly ... bloody wide berth or a different field
Calved plenty of well behaved cows over the years but also seen the damage they can do if they take exception to something....and dont want that to be me.

Its a ferret mate , loads of rabbits round here and also ferretters. Many ferrets get lost and breed in the wild. Local grouse keepers trap plenty ferrets here.Good going again mate
No truly wild polecats .
Sorry mate...just being cheeky ... my view - if its in a cage, down a hole or trousers ...its a ferret ...if its roaming free its a polecat

No mate its a ferret , there are no wild polecats in Co Durham.
As previously stated this area is full of rabbits and ferretters , so many a ferret will have been lost and bred in the wild , no shortage of rabbits for them to survive.
Grouse keepers trap them regularly.

Not out at night but I have just come back from scouting the just cut maize fields near Deal for pigeons, instead there were 7 off birds of prey I counted them all huddled together picking at the ground all in about 1 sq metre, I have never seen so many in one place ever.
Nom show for me last night, I packed it in as the rain rolled in.
This Thursday / Friday 's forecast is looking pretty bad too.

What calls you guys using I am having no response to the caller at all up here tks
Distress calls on the foxpro seem to be working but again its not always the case. Hand call seems to be getting some in but I also called a vixen in with the vixen call recently as she was calling like mad. Mix it up a bit and try a few different calls
